‘Yes Thickness!’: Fans React After Rihanna Makes Her First Public Appearance After Giving Birth

Rihanna appeared to have earned brownie points for being a supportive girlfriend to her longtime partner A$AP Rocky.

The singer made her first public appearance after giving birth to the pair’s child in May by recently attending his performance at the Wireless Festival. Wireless Festival, which began on July 1 and will end on July 10, is an annual rap music event in England.

A$AP was a headlining act on July 1 at the Crystal Palace in London, England, making it his first U.K. performance in six years. Rihanna’s ex Chris Brown, Lil Uzi Vert were among the many performers that took the stage that same day. 

During A$AP’s set, fans were able to capture images and clips of Rihanna — who sported an all-black ensemble including a puffer jacket and leggings — as she made her way through a crowd of screaming concertgoers. 

According to TMZ, before A$AP’s performance, it was reported that the couple did, in fact, travel with their newborn from Los Angeles to London on a private jet. As photos and videos of Rihanna began circulating online, many mentioned how beautiful the “We Found Love” vocalist looked. 

“Yes thickness! She looks good.”

“My girl is back. The baby weight looks great on her.”

“Thicker than a snicker.”

“Love the baby weight on her.”

“RiRi Thick And She Look Goodt With Her Weight On Her.”

Among the previous remarks, others mentioned how annoyed Rihanna appeared to be when passing by screaming fans. One wrote, “She looks very much over it they being too loud Chile she just had a baby settle down.”

Another said, “It look like she don’t wanna be outside.” A third person stated, “Yes Rihanna cuss they asses OUT!!! Lol she was definitely irritated about something! I just love her!!!”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
